Do you know of any books / other media w allosexual demiromantic characters that dont end up in qprs or stated to be nonsexual romance, and don't emphasize friendships? (bc Im very repulsed by those things - I do understand its very unlikely to find media with no friendship - something i struggle w a lot as a plato repulsed aplatonic)

Ugh I've been trying to think of / find answers for this and frustratingly I've come up short!! The only allosexual demiromantic rep I can think of is Fire Becomes Her but that is very much about friendship & QPRs so I wouldn't recommend it in this case.

Going to throw this out to my followers and the aro crowd, hopefully they'll know of some more options??

Maybe @aro-who-reads might have something too that I missed?

Since asks/dms aren't open, message for @entropy-sea-system below.

Still feel weird about making a post post, so I'll put this under a cut

Re: tags on this post and college

I don't know how much it'll mean, but specifically about how the medical field and doctors can be seen.

I want to say how valuable it can be to see other disabled people in this field. You don't have to be a shining star in a corrupt field to mean something to patients. It's valuable in itself to see someone who may understand or at least be less harsh on us due to mutual chronic struggles.

So, with this being a largely stressful factor, I hope I can ease that a bit. Other docs and their corruption, or the corruption of the medical system, don't make you automatically lesser for going into it. Even if vague people across the internet would be judgemental, they're not the ones coming into your office.

And if they do, they're asking for help regardless. So they'll have to swallow their indignity a bit.

I think I'm seeing that being an aspect of this stressor. The difference of online vs offline interactions. It's something that gets me as well. And hey. Shitty people are out there, but in such smaller quantities. Your average patient is there for help, and I swear it'll be ok.

I spent a lot of time in various medical facilities growing up, not just hospitals, and some people just won't click with their physician. But they don't go home with you at night. So they'll move on if the interaction isn't ideal. But those who do come to you again and again, they're looking for insight, to be taken seriously, and a shoulder to lean on. That line of professionalism helps on that end, I think.

It's normal for patients to find docs who keep a straight face, those who are expressive, and so many different mannerisms, but they understand at the end of the day that professionalism is a layer that demands respect.

Not in an authoritarian way either. But to know, they'll have to be respectful and work with you, not against you, to have an easier time sorting out medical issues.

Ah, ended up writing quite a bit. But I knew I had plenty to say, so I hope the words mean something.

Is it ok to write about Dr. Halpractice? (Not sure if he is an OC or just tumblr meme?)

Oh, absolutely, feel free to! Dr. Hedical Halpractice comes from this post, he's more just a fun concept I ran with as more people added their ideas to the thread. It'd be very cool to see content of him!

[apothiplatonic]

Your posts about being apothipl are very relateable and its nice to see other apls (am apothipl too) talking abt their experiences!! (-Rift)

thank you! it's nice to see your posts in the tag, too. i'm not very active, so i'm glad there are more apothiplatonics out there sharing what it's like and not trying to water down our experiences! we're still very misunderstood and hated, so i hope we can make things better for other apothipls, nonfriending apls, etc who might not feel safe being open about it yet.

[colorpickedowlhouse]

Alloaro flag colorpicked from Willow?

Sure!

There are people who don't experience any kind of love. Yes, not even to friends or books or whatever. There are also people who don't want or have friends. Love is not a universal thing, yes, even if you say it doesn't have to be romantic. Theres nothing wrong with that. (This is about your tags on a post you reblogged) I understand if this is not expected but. You might actually want to take some time to accept or even just acknowledge the existence of loveless aros and other people who don't experience and/or disidentify with the concept of love. It's not that op didn't know love isn't just romantic. Op knows that and doesn't experience any form of love and you should respect people who have that experience

Thank you for calling me out and informing me. I’m sorry if those tags offended those with loveless experiences. I want to inform myself on the different experiences of those who are loveless and learn and grow. I now understand that everyone experiences emotions differently and how they relate to those emotions are going to be different. Again, I apologize, I honestly didn’t mean to offend but I can see now how my comments could be misinterpreted.

thank you!!

[crisp-sweet-pink-lady]

I like how both monster high gen 3 and berry in the big city had heist episodes !!

Every series needs a good heist episode.

[aspecpolls]

when I said only non ace aros can respond, I meant for there to be no 'see results' button, if possible is it ok to request an identical poll without that button, I should have stated that clearly sorry

Oh of course! I can absolutely remake it, I'll get on that right now

[disasterdemi]

Recently realised that the label demiromantic fits me (in addition to sexuromantic) and Im glad I found this blog! (As well as a few other demiro blogs but as an apothiplatonic Im glad this blog acknowledges that being demiro is not inherently linked to friendship)

Hey there! I always really appreciate the insights you share in your posts about aplatonicism, so I'm happy to hear that you feel welcome here :))

[majormeilani]

is the flag in your header a bisexual aro flag?? It looks cool!! (Im alloaro and queer myself)

yes it is!!! i made it myself :)

[vidoeslot]

every time I see your url I am reminded of that 'thats love baby stick your dick in the vidoeslot' post /lh

GOOD THAT'S THE POINT

[splashtailstar]

pfp very cool! And I like how the bi flag in it has a stars/galaxy pattern on it!

thank you!!! vi made the transparent png of luz and hunter a while ago, so vi slightly edited their positions for a pfp, and then vi placed them over a bi flag. vi did not like the way that turned out, so vi was looking a glitter bi flag, but decided to use a galaxy one instead
